What color is Valspar UK Celery Heart?

Valspar UK Celery Heart R240E is a light, muted yellow with a soft green-olive cast that keeps it from reading as a straightforward cream. Its gently dusty quality suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and garden-facing spaces where the color can echo natural light and foliage. In brighter daylight it appears more lemony and open, while warmer artificial lighting brings out its mellow, buttery side. Pair Celery Heart with chalky white trim, pale oak, linen textiles, or deeper olive accents for a layered, grounded scheme. It is especially effective across full walls or on cabinetry when a pale neutral feels too plain.
